How to Eat Your Watermelon in White Company (and Enjoy It) This new docu takes a good look at the colorful (to put it mildly) career of Melvin Van Peebles, who has done a lot more than just direct and star in Sweet Sweetback's Badasssss Song. We see his writing, recording and performing efforts, plus interesting stints as a TV commentator and a stint as a trader on the floor of the stock market.
